TRL Getting the Ax?

MTV really wants to forget about the original purpose of the channel and continue down the Exposed road. New York Daily News reports that TRL could be coming to a close simply because no one watches it anymore. Nielsen media has the viewership for the music countdown show at a mere 393, 000 -- down from almost 600,000 in 2001.

What is Vanessa not good enough for you (I'm so glad we found a way to get a picture of her on the blog)? Damien has improved since he started a few years back.

An MTV rep did not comment.
